New Icelandic airline Niceair will launch its inaugural UK service on 3 June from Stansted, with a Manchester flight to follow.

The Akureyri region offers the chance to see the northern lights

The carrier will fly from Akureyri in Iceland’s north on Monday and Friday, with return fares from £240.

Akureyri is 100km from the Arctic Circle and regarded as Iceland’s capital of the north.

The destination was previously only accessible via a five-hour drive or a domestic flight from Reykjavik. It offers soft adventure and geothermal waters.
 
Niceair also plans to begin Manchester flights from an unspecified date in October. Twice-weekly services will go on sale on Wednesday (27 April). Flights are on an all-economy Airbus A319 with 150 seats.
